September 25, early autumn, the temperature is even hotter.

In the news that the Xiliang army also met with a nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses of Liang State, each side sent two battalions to test it, and there was no victory or defeat between the military formations, and it was all up to Ma Chao's Xiqiang cavalry to attack the flank and force the other party back.

In the south, the Sui and Qing prefectures, and the state army Zhang Liao defeated a 2,000 soldiers and horses of the Wu state to explore the way, and the latter directly tightened the defensive line and did not dare to act rashly.

On the side of Suizhou, Guan Yu fought quite loudly, recovering half of Suizhou in full swing, and finally in a battle report that came back, Guan Zhang continued to advance southward, giving deterrence to the Vietnamese army that landed in the south of Suizhou.

After the war passed, the merchants still traveled between Shangluyang and Shang, Gansu, Hui, Guangji and other states, and the previous prosperity flourished again.

The fields allocated to the officers and soldiers of the various armies, Luyang has repaired the concentrated houses for them, and the soldiers and colonels of the various armies have sent a letter to the north to inform the wives and children of the family, or it will not be long before an escort team will be organized over there to bring their families to Luyang to settle down.

The people of this land are also in a warm atmosphere at this time, the first batch of pilot schools in Luyang City has fallen, and the teachers are all poor scholars at home, a few days before the opening of the museum, many people in the city, people who operate cheap businesses flocked to sign up, for a time, many streets are overcrowded.

And all this is due to Zhuge Liang presiding over the rear, pushing forward one tedious step after another.

As for the batch of Confucian students who were dealt with at the beginning of September, Luyang's Yanwen progress became smooth, and it seemed that Su Chen, the Xia King, compromised, and those scholars no longer moved.

Everything seemed so calm, and on Su Chen's side, the two cavalry had expanded to the extreme, the string-controlling wolf cavalry in Lu Bu's hand had reached five thousand, and Zhao Yun's white horse Yi had suddenly expanded to four thousand cavalry, almost reaching the limit that Su Chen could support.

The formation of the three thousand Tang Army has not yet been officially assigned to the banner, but the speed of formation is not slow, Qin Qiong and Zhang Yu, the two veterans have a fierce eye, and many veterans have been selected from the captives, and the basic skeletons have been built, and every day they will give these soldiers drills, as well as the teachings of the superintendent horses stuffed in by Su Chen.

“…… The Governor's Cavalry was created alone, and every battalion must have it in the future. Su Chen and Jia Xu sat in the carriage, looked through the raised curtains, and watched the newly built three thousand soldiers and horses in the distance sit on the ground in dozens of small circles, quietly listening to a general in leather armor talking to them.

The autumn sky light shone on his face, a little dazzling, Su Chen poured a cup of tea and took a sip, "Zhongshu Ling, can you understand why?" ”

The old man on the side, quiet and peaceful, took a sip of the teacup as well.

"Prevent the generals from sitting big, and let the soldiers below know who to fight for, even if the generals are suddenly killed, or lose contact with the center, these overseers will also stabilize the morale of the army."

"Hehehe......" Su Chen put down the teacup, got up and walked out of the curtain, he stood on the chariot, practicing "Martial God Gangqi", his body was a little taller and more powerful than before, he looked at the new soldiers in front of him and laughed: "Zhongshu Ling guessed that eight or nine is not far from ten, alone in this way, it is much stronger than the supervising team." ”

Immediately, he narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice: "There will be more such people in the military camp in the future, I am not worried about my Chinese generals, but to prevent the future generals, after all, everyone has selfish intentions, if my Chinese generals are on the side, it is okay, if they lead an army alone, in case they hide old grievances in their hearts and lead the army on the battlefield to defect, it will be troublesome, but at the moment, if there is a superintendent cavalry to teach and educate the soldiers every day, the soldiers at the bottom are simple-minded, once the idea is firm, not only can they quickly unite the army's heart, but they can also rest assured." ”

Su Chen turned his face slightly, looked at the old man in the carriage, and raised his fingers.

"There are still a lot of Wei armor and weapons in stock here in Luyang, wait a few days, select some and distribute them to the new army."

He paused in his tone, sat down in the chariot, bent one leg, put his hand on his lap, and leaned his back against the door frame of the car, "Work hard, it's not like just starting troops from Ding'an City, regardless of killing all the way to Yanjing, now that the north is connected with the Central Plains, the people's livelihood and the army have to be asked, and finally understand that the emperor is really not so easy to be." ”

Jia Xu looked at this young man with a double ten, and a slight smile appeared on his face: "These scholars in the Central Plains, Xu will wait for the king to deal with the affairs in the north before doing anything to them." ”

"Haha, when the time comes, the lonely will be able to look at the means of the Chinese book." Su Chen leaned against the door frame of the car and laughed, "However, Lone is not worried about failure, even if he fails, Lone still has you, and they, a group of clowns jumping off the beam." ”

In the brilliant skylight, the breeze slowly blew to bring a little coolness, and the voices of the soldiers over there were buzzing and noisy, and far away, a horse came from the north, and the speed was extremely fast.

Su Chen also noticed, he raised his hand, Wu Zixun raised his chin at the Lingqi on the side, and several Lingqi galloped out, intercepted him in front of the fast horse, talked a few words, and brought him to the carriage of the armor guard.

"Little one, meet the king!"

The fast horse was not a post road rider, dressed ordinarily, but he recognized Su Chen at a glance, he took out a folded letter from his arms, and presented it with both hands.

Wu Zixun took it from him, straightened out the letter, turned around and walked to the chariot, and handed it to Su Chen.

"Are you a servant of the Fang family?" Su Chen didn't rush to open it, but stared at the person who sent the letter.

"Yes! The little one has seen the king twice in Yunyao. The man knelt on the ground, Rao was a little knowledgeable, but in the face of the surrounding Jin Ge Iron Horse, his hands and feet trembled without obeying the call.

Su Chen lowered his gaze, tore open the letter in his hand, took out the letter inside and unfolded it, and the handwriting that fell on it was cold.

"The King?" Jia Xu felt the change in Su Chen.

"Back to the city."

Su Chen put the letter in his sleeve, got up and walked into the carriage, and the soldier driving the car jumped up, shook the reins, and shouted: "Drive!" The six big horses pulling the frame opened their hooves and pulled the carriage to turn around, and the guards around them were led by Dian Wei, changing the formation to escort the king towards Luyang Xuanchun Gate.

Along the way, Su Chen's orders came from time to time in the carriage, and there were constantly orders to turn around and leave the horse.

"Let the post road urgently notify Dong Zhuo and Ma Chao of the Xiliang Army who conquered Meizhou to strictly guard Meizhou, and Zhang Liao of the Zhou Army and Guan Yu of the Yizhou Army, so that they can continue to attack, drive the soldiers and horses of Wu and Yue out of the north of the Huaijiang River, and station a line of defense there, and then send someone to inform Xiahou Yuan of the Qingzhou Army to settle in Luyang, and preside over all the operations here with Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, in addition, Zhao Yun of the Youyan Army, Lu Bu of the Controlling String Wolf, Anu Hu of the Shengnu Army, and the newly built 3,000 soldiers and horses, led by Qin Qiong and Zhang Yu, are ready to go north."

The last group of Lingqi left, and Su Chen looked at Jia Xu on the side, "Zhongshu Lingke can go to the north with Gu to have a look?" ”

"Can you let it go?" Jia Xu stroked his beard and laughed, and between the faint words, there was a faint hint of excitement in his eyes: "Hehe, Xu has never seen the appearance of this grassland barbarian." ”

Su Chen nodded, touched the letter in his sleeve, and was silent and did not speak.

The wheels rolled, heading towards the city, and soon entered the main hall of the imperial city, and went straight to the temple to tell the emperors that they were going north.

"Immortal, Lonely and Xuande stay."

At the same time that Cao Cao appeared and landed, Liu Bei was also standing beside him, "Changsheng can rest assured that he will go north, and the Central Plains can stay with Meng De." ”

"You ......"

Without waiting for Su Chen to finish speaking, Cao Cao suddenly took out a token, "This is a gift from His Majesty Han Wu, fight Xirong, fight well, don't live up to His Majesty Han Wu's high hopes." ”

On that token, it was written: Huo Zi.

"I didn't unlock Emperor Wu of Han, can I still use his token?" Su Chen touched this golden token, looked at Cao Cao with some surprise, and then his eyes fell on the tribute table over there, where the spirit of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, stood there lifelessly, without any reaction.

"Immortality, don't worry about it."

With a smile on his face, Cao Cao pressed Su Chen's shoulder, "This token can only be used once, it will dissipate after fighting, fight well, don't let down Emperor Wu of Han, remember my Chinese ancestors, but they are all optimistic about you." ”

When Su Chen heard him say this, and then looked at the tablet of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the indifferent smile on Liu Bei's face, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He walked to the futon, knelt down, and bowed three times towards the top, as well as Cao Cao and Liu Bei opposite.

Then, he took a heavy breath, turned around and strode out, returned to the dormitory, and began to prepare for going north, Yang Yuhuan and Fang Xuejun heard that they were going back to the north and came over.

Su Chen asked Yang Yuhuan to help him put on his armor, while looking at the letter on the table at Fang Xuejun.

"It was written by Grandpa...... The battle at Yantangguan is urgent, and we must go back. ”

The woman picked up the letter, opened it slowly, and when she saw the handwriting on it, she covered her mouth and cried lowly.

“…… In this life, I have asked for a lot, seeking fame and fortune, seeking to expand the territory, seeking fame and leaving history, thinking that righteousness is heroic, but in fact I have wasted half my life, for the corrupt Confucianism in the city, for the family business, for the fame, and forget the education of the saints, what is the difference with the businessman.

Changsheng was angry and set off a military incident, I was ashamed, but along the way, Changsheng overcame thorns and thorns, I felt very ashamed, it was difficult to distinguish between good and bad in my heart, Changsheng ran around for the idea in his heart at the cost of his life, and expanded the territory, which is the wish of my generation of northerners, and I hope that Changsheng will make a difference.

I have wasted my life, bound to fame and fortune, what I want in my heart has never been realized, the war in Yantangguan has resumed, in a short period of time, I have tasted the pain of separation, seen the tragic situation of life and death of the people, and felt heartache for the thousands of lives of this Dayan, only to remember what my generation of Confucians should do, but it is too late.

When Changsheng received this letter, perhaps I am no longer there, and it is not a pity that I can have this realization when I am dying. And the road of immortality is still long, and the road is full of thorns......"

At this point, the handwriting of the letter has become blurred, and only the last paragraph can be seen: "...... Yun Xuan rotten Confucian Fang Wen Ye congratulated the king on the victory of the banner and swept away the world. ”

The last word: Ye Shu.

Tears fell on the paper, Fang Xuejun trembled slightly, suppressed her crying, Su Chen held her in her arms, and the stubborn and chivalrous woman in the past finally cried out loud.

"Let's go north, let's go back and fight the Xijon people."

Su Chen patted her on the back gently, he looked at the scenery of the courtyard outside the window, and said this, as if he saw the stubborn old man in his mind, standing in front of the bookcase, standing in the swaying light, holding a brush, writing with difficulty.

It's the vague paragraph.

…… I am stumbled by fame and fortune, and I am stubborn and refuse to turn back; I was mistaken for the wine in the glass, and I boasted that I didn't meet it; It wasn't until I was old and old that I gradually understood, but I deceived myself and didn't dare to look back and face my once ambitious and idealistic self.

Immortality, with the world in mind, please rule the world...... Don't lose the wind and moon.
